Musings, leadership tidbits and quotes posted by a retired Navy Captain (really just a high performing 2nd Class Petty Officer) who hung up his uniform a bit too early. He still wears his Navy service on his sleeve. He needs to get over that. "ADVANCE WARNING - NO ORIGINAL THOUGHT!" A "self-appointed" lead EVANGELIST for the "cryptologic community". Keeping CRYPTOLOGY alive-one day and Sailor at a time. 2015 is 80th Anniversary of the Naval Security Group.

Fighting in Cyberspace in 2030 - Strategic Studies Group XXVI

Not sure what the plan is in the near term, but back in 2006 the Chief of Naval Operations' Strategic Studies Group looked at fighting in cyberspace in 2030. This study ordered 2 1/2 years ago "looks to the future and tries to predict where we will be engaged in warfare in the information age." The SSG's task was to generate revolutionary naval concepts to ensure (we have) Navy capabilities in this emerging warfare domain.

Somewhere in the process the SSG provided the CNO with a high-level blueprint as well as a roadmap with immediately actionable steps - operational, process, and technological that our Navy can take to begin developing the capabilities.
